Recipe Organizer

Don't know if anybody recognizes this kind of 'pile' in their kitchen.

(I hope so, please tell me I am not the only one!)

Anyway, that is how my recipes have been 'organized' for years!

When I needed something, I would just dig through the papers till I found it.

But just recently, I couldn't stand this sight any longer.

So I decided to finally tackle it.

I just took an old binder, made a simple cover from scrapbook paper, and put it in the transparent sleeves on the cover. Next, I put all my recipes in page protectors. The recipes that were smaller than a standard 8.5 by 11 I just glued on some white printer paper. Nothing complicated, but it looks SO much better!

Hello, there, Mariska! Nope...you're not the only one. That's how mine look, too. I've been working on the same thing...three ring binder with clear front. I decided to make five weeks of menus and then type out the recipe and shopping list for each one. Each item on the menu is numbered (if I need a recipe for it), and then the page with the recipe is also numbered. I can flip to the right page, double check the shopping list...saves a ton of time. Thanks for sharing!Katie
